Tmobile SG S2 Software problem or power button

http://forum.xda-developers.com – MY galaxy s2 has problems with powering off every now and then. it was really bad at one point where all it was doing is turning on and rebooting right after. i had a custom rom for months and never had problems until yesterday. i couldnt go on recovery mode because it would always restart every five seconds. Now it seems to less frequent because i realized that it always reboots when i touch the power button once. Sometimes when i push the power button to take it off sleep mode, the power options pops up (recovery, restart, power off etc) so thats when i thought the power button might be the (HowTos)

My nexus s is giving me trouble. While phone is on, keeps waking and sleeping on its own randomly like the power button is being pressed.

If i try to press the power button myself to put it to sleep sometimes it brings up the power off menu instead (as if I've held it), and the rest of the time it does nothing.

Power button broken? 13 weeks 4 days ago

My power button is broken but I'm not sure it's the power button because I somewhat opened it there is a stripped screw so the volume side doesn't come off. When i put a battery in it turns on automatically and i even removed the power button from the motherboard little power button & tried pressing that power button

my power button broke, and the only way to power it back up is to install the carrier rom via odin, which makes my device outdated and unrooted, Ive downloaded Button remapper so I could switch the power key with something else, but it asks for full root access, is there any way to root my phone via odin, or just without recovery mode?

I don't know if this is a bug or not so I am not sure how to proceed. :confused:

I run Fedora Linux 3.6.7-5.fc18.i686 with the KDE desktop v 4.9.3.

In 'System Settings' - 'Power Management' - 'AC Power', 'Button events handling'; I have it set to 'sleep' when the laptop lid is closed and it does this OK.

help resolving boot loop issue 37 weeks 5 days ago

I put the latest version of CM10 and I got stuck in the boot loop sequence: I see only the intro animation.

1. If I press the power button for 7 seconds, the tablets restarts itself and I'm from where I went: the intro animation 2.

Anyone had similar issues? :confused:

Over three weeks in, I am still blown away by this phone as I am finding new features everyday BUT I am also having difficulties with my power button. As I read in the Sprint forum, some time ago, it was noticed that the power button seemed loose, 'rocky' on a pivot. Other Note II demo phones had some flexibility with the power button as well.

Hardware problem? 1 week 5 days ago

I bought an used infuse the other day to fix and sell to a friend. The owner said it was bricked, but I've since gotten it into recovery mode, download mode, and a normal power on. It goes into a bootloop most of the time though, the endless bootloop people seem to be getting when the power button gets stuck.

I've completely disassembled the phone and I can't find the problem.

my htc amaze has a broken power button and would flash on and off unless i take out the battery. the power button is gone, but the power sensor is still there. the phone will stay on if i push on the power sensor correctly.

you guys have any advice on fixing this and how much would it cost to repair?

thanks a bunch

Hey, so my power button has recently become unresponsive. It has gradually gone "into" the phone, causing it harder to press but it has not jammed. Would this be a fixable problem or would I have to take it into a HTC store and have them look at it?
